On our first trip I was so amazed with the food I forgot to post a review. I had oxtails, yams, and mac & cheese. Oxtails were on a bed of rice with a very tasty gravy. Yams were on point. The Mac & cheese was good, however black pepper taste forward. Portions were big so I was able to have the oxtail for lunch the following day. Today I went with fried chicken wings, yams, and red beans. Another great dinner! If you're out in Manor stop by and chat with Fred Nunn. He's hilarious and a wonderful soul food chef,

And they only provide one small cornbread muffin, but it's very tastey. The pork chop was prepared well, but it's hard to remove gristly edges when it's all buried under the gravy. It could have been a better cut of meat, and that would have helped. There are certainly nicer porkchops available for purchase at Costco (and even HEB) if they want to upgrade the quality of ingredients. There are limited beverage options. They were out of coffee so I had unsweet tea, which was nice. The staff seemed to have something unusual going on. Maybe someone hadn't shown up for their shift or maybe they were training someone. But from greeting to seating to taking my order to checkout, it was just awkward. I don't expect it's normally that way. Lunch special was $12.99. Other meals were in the $20+ range. White meat chicken isn't available on the lunch menu, only dark. But even on the regular menu, it's dark meat only unless you pay a $4.95 upgrade. So basically, this creates a large (2X) price between different variations on a fried chicken meal, which fine, I guess, but for me, it's a strange pricing strategy that I haven't seen anywhere else. But mostly, to me, it feels like I'm eating in a city rec center with a staff of community volunteers. Friendly enough, and tasty enough, but not quite restauranty enough. I haven't given up on it, but I'm not quite sold yet. Wishing them well. I like having a soul food restaurant in town.

I was disappointed with my recent visit to Rolling Rooster. When we arrived, there was an employee…read morestanding behind the register with a mop and bucket, and I noticed that no one handling food was wearing gloves. The young lady at the register left quickly when we approached, and when I asked if we could dine in, she told us there was no room. That felt unusual, but we decided to order takeout. While placing the order, she mentioned there were plumbing issues and something was overflowing, which raised another concern about the cleanliness of the environment. She also seemed anxious and unprofessional during the interaction. We were told the food would take about 15 minutes, but it ended up being closer to 30-45 minutes. Unfortunately, the food did not meet our expectations, especially for the price. The oxtails, rice, greens, and macaroni and cheese were around $36. The okra looked like it had been refried, and the chicken wings tasted as though they were cooked in old grease. The greens had an unusual flavor, and the macaroni and cheese did not taste like traditional mac and cheese. The oxtails were messy but not tender. Based on the lack of professionalism, the long wait, and the overall quality of the food, I do not plan to return.

They were perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of vinegar and cooked to that ideal tender texture without being mushy. The fried chicken and catfish were outstanding. Both were well seasoned, incredibly crispy, and tasted like they were fried in fresh grease. Every bite was hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The baked macaroni and cheese was good, but it leaned a little more toward a Velveeta-style cheese sauce than my personal preference. Still a solid 9/10. I also ordered the Peach Passion Fruit Hennessy margarita, and it was superb. Smooth, flavorful, and easily one of the highlights of the meal. The staff was friendly and welcoming, the prices were very reasonable, and the portions were generous. If you're looking for authentic soul food in Austin, The Rolling Rooster is absolutely worth the stop. I'll definitely be back.

I used to love the fried ribs but it appears this was no longer a menu item so instead, I settle for the fried chicken with cabbage and yams. Each entrée is served with two sides and cornbread of which is more than enough. I have to say, this meal tasted like grandma's dinner on a Sunday evening! Hats off to the chef.

As a family-owned restaurant, it has a welcoming, community feel and when the DJ gets going on weekends or R&B/Soul nights on Fridays, the place really comes alive. It's definitely a go-to for celebrations, birthdays, or a fun night out with friends. The seafood dishes deliver on that authentic Cajun flavor, seasoned well and satisfying for anyone craving Southern comfort food with a kick. That said, the atmosphere can be a bit much depending on what you're looking for. The music gets very loud - great for the vibe, but not ideal if you're trying to have a conversation across the table. Service can also be quite slow, especially during peak times, so patience is key. Overall, Down South Cajun Eats is perfect if you're in the mood for flavorful seafood and a party-like environment - but maybe not the best pick for a quiet dinner.

It includes Grits, eggs, bacon, sausage, breakfast potatoes with your choice of waffles or French toast. This is a LOT of food for the price. Everything was also very well seasoned. I didnt need syrup on my waffle or any butter/sugar (yes I'm that girl) in my grits. I left very satisfied and would go for their brunch every weekend if I could.

Asked about the special and they notified me to which days it was being offered. This later in the afternoon and they advised that they were running low on items which was helpful to choose from the menu. Food: Unfortunately, I would like to give them a better rating but I was not satisfied what was so-called soul food. Only thing that was good was the fried ribs. The mac-n-cheese, and greens were not well cooked. Soul food to me is oven baked mac-n-cheese and not stove top mac-n-cheese. The greens were missing a lot of flavor. Again, the fried ribs were okay but nothing to be too excited about. Overall: I would like to give them another chance but I hope other items will taste a lot better than what I was able to experience. Once again, Mrs. Tonya was wonderful with excellent customer service and made you feel like family. Unfortunately, the food was not as good as I was expecting.

If I had known what was offered, I probably wouldn't have spent that much. The plate I received had oxtails, cabbage, and greens -- tasty but definitely overpriced compared to what I saw later. Another customer got two full plates for $35, and their portions were generous. That's a much better deal for the same type of food. The flavors were solid and the sides were well-seasoned, but the pricing felt inconsistent. I'd recommend Burnett's for the taste, but I strongly suggest checking the menu first or asking about prices before ordering.
